Modi packed a Melbourne stadium. Days later, India’s ‘cockroaches’ filled the streets

The article discusses the contrast between the perceived unity of Indian Australians during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech in Melbourne and the unrest occurring in India. Modi addressed over 20,000 Indian Australians at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium, where the audience showed strong support for India's military actions against Pakistan. This event is juxtaposed with reports of Indian police beating students with batons outside parliament in Delhi, highlighting the disparity between public sentiment abroad and domestic tensions. The author, a Pakistani Australian, reflects on the irony of seeing both nations connected through a shared civic experience while questioning the reasons behind Modi's choice to use a Melbourne sports venue for political messaging.
